re-application of diatom

Post by TEZ PAZ »

Does anyone know if you have to keep reapplying diatom even if you dont wash it off? or does it last until washed off? Im thinking of getting a paintbrush and brushing diatom into all the cracks and crevices of my coop. Some of the coop i dont wash frequently (like the roof and the top of the walls) so i was wondering if the diatom would last until i washed it off or do i need to keep reapplying it. My son found a red mite crawling accross his homework yike* so im gonna start my attack this weekend!!!!!!!!! after i purchase a mask!lol
